{"product_id":"1967-gibson-trini-lopez-standard-5313","title":"1967 Gibson Trini Lopez Standard","description":"Gibson launched their Trini Lopez line of signature guitars in late 1964 with the inception of two models - the Trini Lopez Deluxe, a full-depth hollow-body based on the Barney Kessel Artist Model; and the Trini Lopez Standard, and a semi-hollow Thinline based on the ES-335TD. Both models featured diamond-shaped F-holes and a unique peghead design fitted with six-on-a-plate Kluson strip tuners. (This same peghead design was used on the Non-Reverse Firebird models a year later when Gibson was forced to redesign the Firebirds to avoid a lawsuit by Fender.) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nOne of 783 Standard models produced in 1967, this Gibson Trini Lopez artist guitar has matured beautifully over the last 58 years. The original unfaded Cherry Red finish has darkened to a deep shade of wine red with a light and attractive crazing to the clear coat. While this guitar was used extensively in professional settings by its original owner, the excellent cosmetic condition stands as a testament to how much it was cherished. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThe guitar's original owner was a man from South Carolina named Wardell Johnson. Wardell played this '67 Trini Lopez in a band with his brother called the D.C. Stompers. We haven't been able to gather much about Mr. Johnson's band, but there are several photos of him performing with this Gibson Trini Lopez included in the guitar's case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nSporting a pair of original unmodified Patent Number humbuckers, this Trini Lopez offers rich, full and open tones that are slightly warmer and more compressed than one would expect from a PAF-equipped semi-hollow. The guitar delivers signature airy and overtone-rich qualities of a good semi-hollow build, making for an all-around excellent sounding electric. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nThis guitar is completely original apart from one pickguard washer and the strap buttons. There are no breaks or repairs anywhere on the instrument. The original frets, while fully playable, do show moderate playwear up to the twelfth fret. There is a small area of missing finish underneath the pickguard from where foam was previously glued to space the guard from the guitar's top. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nScale length of 24.75\". 1st first fret depth of 0.845\", twelfth fret depth of 0.998\", and a 1-9\/16\" nut width. Pickup dc values of 8.0K (neck) and 7.9K (bridge). Weight of 8lbs 12oz.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nWith original hardshell case\r\n","brand":"GIBSON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53614243283310,"sku":"210000007702","price":9995.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/3660\/5550\/files\/174492462268501967_Gibson_Trini_Lopez-0425-2Main.jpg?v=1790972110","url":"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/products\/1967-gibson-trini-lopez-standard-5313","provider":"Folkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
